How to Make the Most Profit on a Fix and Flip Loan
Looking to get the most out of a fix and flip loan? Here are 4 ways to do just that.
Basic Home Improvement Tasks
The hardest part about doing a fix and flip (and getting a fix and flip loan) is renovating the home without spending too much money. Learn how to do basic home improvement chores on your own, like painting, resurfacing, and door replacement.
Find the Right Contractors
Hire contractors to do the harder work, like plumbing or electrical work. And once your project is done, keep these contacts handy so you can hire them for future renovation projects.
Find Historic Homes
One of the most lucrative types of fix and flip projects is a historic home. All across America, there are thousands of homes from the 1880s through the turn of the century that have beautiful historic architecture but are very run down. If properly fixed up, these homes could dramatically increase in value and make you a substantial profit.
Speak to a professional before make the offer
There may be things that you don’t realize until after you make the offer regarding location and property type. Remote locations are much harder to finance, and multi-family over 4 units typically require a different financial source compared to 1 – 4 units.
